Effective moisture control and gingival retraction are essential prerequisites for success in the restoration of Class V bonded restorations. Various techniques exist for cervical isolation and moisture control in Class V restorations. This case report details a modified technique in which a visible light cured elastomeric resin was utilized to stabilize a cervical matrix in restoration of a Class V erosion lesion. The resultant customized matrix provides effective isolation, moisture control, and gingival retraction when used in conjunction with Class V restorations.
